Scottish Sports Futures - Active:2:Grow
No comments Irvine
<p>Scottish Sports Futures (SSF) are looking to apply for additional funds to support the ongoing delivery of our Active2Grow programme in partnership with the Ghillie Dhu Project. The Active:2:Grow programme currently supports care experienced young people through mental health and wellbeing provision. However, as this project only currently funds staff costs, this is in desperate need of additional resources to support the young people which it engages with on a weekly basis.</p> <p>The funds applied for will contribute directly towards additional resources for the young people, allowing us to further provide much needed wellbeing support for children most in need.</p> <p>These resources will include winter giftbags and wellbeing boxes for all young people attending the sessions, a sports kitbag and a ‘broadening horizon activity’. This activity will consisted of encouraging young people to take on new experiences, build their confidence/resilience, and widen their support networks within their local communities.</p> <p>These funds will allow us to provide resources to some of the young people most in need on this support across the locality, ensuring that we can continue to provide tailored and person-centred mental health and wellbeing support, while also building closer connections to the wider communities.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Our football team plays a crucial role in promoting health, wellbeing and social inclusion. It’s a critical age for children to begin experimenting with alcohol and smoking but having a focus with our team helps to support the boys make positive decisions. We have a range of families in our team, some from deprived areas and a family from Ukraine. Being a part of our team has helped reduce social barriers for these boys and ensure they have a sense of belonging whilst also supporting one of the boys learn to speak English. They are also learning to work positively as part of a team and respect which they take into their daily lives at school and at home with their families. We promote healthy choices as a team and as a result of this many of the boys have joined the gym and attend regularly to keep improving their fitness levels and socialise with one another.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Our dedicated coaches volunteer a large amount of time to the team for training, matches and all the organising that goes on in the background.</span></span></span></p>

Dreghorn Primary Parent Council Funding Inclusive Whole School Trip
No comments Irvine
<p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Dreghorn Primary Parent Council(PC) would like to provide a trip for the whole school, this would be the first trip for years. Pupils and Parents have expressed their desire for a whole school trip but have alluded to the challenge posed by the current cost of living crisis. Not having a whole school trip is adversely effecting children of all ages and we want to ensure that finance is not a barrier. The PC are applying for funding to cover the cost for every child. We all have great memories of trips, we would like that for this generation. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Outdoor learning is so important to make connections between school and the real world – bringing topics alive. The extensive benefits for health and wellbeing are also well documented.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">One pupil said " I enjoy trips, they are very educational because you are in a new place, learning new things that you would never be able to see in school. Another pupil told us " You get out all day to see things and its fun. I like a trip because you get to be with all your friends from the other classes and it can be good learning.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

We would like to offer this to junior pupils and help create a zen-like lunch group where pupils get to express themselves creatively, as a welcomed break to their busy day. To help them Zen out, we would like to offer a club where pupils can bring their lunch and possibly use art and Design materials to creatively engage in mindful activities, such as ; drawing , painting , character design, fashion design, photography, printmaking and model making.</span></span></p>
